A Couple Thoughts

I haven't done my devotions yet tonight, plan on doing them right after this. So I don't really have any bible verses to base this one although I'm sure it'd only take me a couple minutes to find some. No, this time I was sitting here enjoying some great music and praising God. Whenever I listen to Christian music I really like to focus on the lyrics, you can learn so much from song lyrics and they can be just as inspiring as the word is. A couple of the songs made me think back on the post I had written a couple days ago on God's love for us. It also made me think that it's so important that we don't just keep that wonderful love to ourselves. God's love must be shared! I was listening to Brandon Heath- Give me your eyes-

Love that song. I want that, I want the Lord to give me his eyes so I can truly see what is going on around me and show unconditional love and share the word of God with them. I so badly want to go into mission work, I don't know how I'll get there but I know it starts with where I am right here and now. Mission work isn't just going out to Asia, China, or some place like that. Mission work can be done anywhere, including right here in Calgary, Alberta. There are so many people here that need to know God. I always hear people talking about how their so excited for the Lord to come back, well as excited as I am also to spend eternity with him.. I'm not ready for him to come back, it makes me sad to think that I'd be going to heaven because I'm saved but there are so many that ended up going to hell. Everyone has a chance to learn about God and know him, and some people will get that chance through you if you can get up the courage to talk with them. I guess it bugs me that there are Christians all over the place being slaughtered for their faith in the Lord meanwhile I'm sitting here in a comfy bed blogging about my faith. I shouldn't just be writing, I need to be living it also. I guess I just don't really know where to start, as well as I am quite nervous to talk to people about such a huge thing. I guess that's where trusting God comes in, can't remember what verse it is or where it is in the bible, forgive me for misquotation as I don't know the exact words but it talks about how we should not be troubled when talking to people about the Lord, because at the right time he will give us the words to say, he will be speaking to them through us! I'd love to be used by the Lord in that way! What better way to be used than to have the Lord speaking to people through us and bringing them to know his amazing and powerful love? I don't know what else to say, I guess that's it really. I just think it's so important not only to have God's love and have your faith in God, but also to go out and share it! After all, that is why we're here! Another great song is Flyleaf- Cassie (Acoustic version)- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-EBHBZJAmw&NR=1&feature=fvwp
"Don't be shocked that people die, be surprised you're still alive." Such a powerful line, but I need to go do my devotions now so I can head to bed, leave a comment and tell me what you think on that line and this post! Continue keeping your relationships with God real and share it with others also.
